No teenage son of gods wants to spend Jr year stuck at a high school in central IL, but when students are attacked & clues suggest divine involvement, Zed must team up with mortal classmates before more students are hurt, even if it means putting his divinity—& his heart—at risk. #YA #F #posterpit

Do what you need: rage, swear, eat too much chocolate, work out, lay immobile in your bed, awkwardly make puns because you don’t know what else to do, uplift marginalized voices, etc etc etc. Whatever this means for you. 💙

When I feel bummed about writing, I sometimes go back through and read my #RevPit editor's comments about my spooky MG and honestly, 😭😭😭 it REALLY helps.

When your diabetic cat has to wear a glucose monitor but you find a festive holiday shirt (and matching festive holiday pajamas for the entire family) to keep that monitor secure, that’s holiday magic ✨

My daughter managed to finish a 4-book graphic novel series in two days and I’m equal parts proud and envious.
